Alerts & Multi-Messenger Events
FASTDB & Alert Packet
FASTDB and alert_packet are presented together because they support the same real-time analysis path: receiving alert streams, storing transient events, and exchanging schemas with classifiers and response tools.
FASTDB
Alert ingestion, transient storage, and packet-schema support for real-time analysis.
Use Cases
- Rubin alerts
- Transient triage
- Packet schemas
- Classifier pipelines
Deployment Targets

Alert stream simulation and FASTDBRTALASS and FASTDB support simulated Rubin alert streams, benchmark datasets, filters, and multi-messenger alert dashboards.
Non-Rubin alert ingestionRTAGala ingests streams such as GCN and TNS, stores events, and supports crossmatching, coincidence detection, and API/UI surfaces.
